Bugs found in StepBet: Get Active & Stay Fit for Android
StepBet app combines a classic step counter with the thrill of online gaming. The app holds you accountable in a way that extends beyond simply walking 10,000 steps a day. You download the app, set your parameters, receive personalized goals, and then you bet on yourself achieving those goals during weekly health-focused games. If you win, you will be able to recoup your bet, plus more!
The app connects with most major step-counters: from Fitbit and Samsung to Garmin.
Since our engineers are experts at testing health and fitness software, we have decided to help StepBet deliver even better experiences. Here are some things that can be improved!
